Pink has announced her 2027 residency at Las Vegas' Sphere – marking her as the first solo female artist to headline the venue.
In a post made on Monday, the three-time Grammy Award-winning pop artist said of the news:
"Makes me think of celebration. Makes me feel like I’m on top of the world. This idea has been bubbling up for years. And I finally get to share it with all of you! Lets celebrate! The highs, the lows, the new, the scary, the never been done before. For the first time, I’m giving a show a home and I hope you’ll visit. It’s my FIRST EVER residency. @spherevegas, 2027. I can’t wait to have you over. 🩷"
The residency will begin on Wednesday, September 29, 2027, and run for the following eight dates: Friday, Oct. 1, Saturday, Oct. 2, Wednesday, Oct. 6, Friday, Oct. 8, Saturday, Oct. 9, Wednesday, Oct. 27, Friday, Oct. 29, and Saturday, Oct. 30.
Pre-sale begins Wednesday, November 18 at 10 AM PT, with general public tickets going on sale Friday, November 20 at 10 AM PT. Fans can purchase Concert & Hotel Experience Packages, which go on sale Wednesday, November 11 at 10 AM PT.
Pink's most recent global tours, the Summer Carnival Tour and the Trustfall Tour, sold over 4 million tickets across 130+ dates throughout 98 cities in 15 countries, making it the 2nd highest-grossing tour of all time from a female artist. Additionally, the artist recently received a nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and hosted the Tony Awards earlier this year.
Accolades aside, Pink found herself tangled in criticism a few months ago when she spoke out against Macklemore's onstage pro-Palestine advocacy. It started when the artist shared a video that condemned Macklemore for transforming a performance into a "political nightmare against the Jewish state."
After much backlash, Pink made a post defending her point of view, where she said:
"I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it.
Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child. I’ve spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn’t choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didn’t do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower."
The artist went on to explain in her lengthy post that her perspective as a Jewish woman is complex when it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
